It's always hard to make a movie that's set in the past. There are numerous errors in The Mask of Zorro involving out-of-time items.

Elena has a nylon zipper on her dress. Not only were there not zippers back then, but they wouldn't have been nylon.

Alejandro Montero talks about San Francisco - but at the time the location was known as Yerba Buena.

The Zorro hand that takes the hat away from Elena doesn't have a glove - even though Zorro wore gloves throughout that scene.

They show a pressure gauge with metric units on it, which wouldn't have been around in this timeframe.
